Getting Ready for the Pumpkin Contest

By Doodles & Cupcakes

So, it's about time we started thinking about the pumpkin contest and I have a few ideas for how this thing is going to go. Of course, you all know that the deadline to have your pumpkin photos loaded to the Flikr group is October 25. For those of you who aren't good with dates -- that's next Monday!

On October 26, I'm going to open the floor for nominations with a blog post. Remember that while you can nominate yourself, you are only allowed to nominate one pumpkin photo! And you need not have participated in the crochet-along in order to nominate -- so, I want to hear from you crochet fans too!

We'll leave the nominations open for a couple days to make sure everyone has a chance to name their favorite and then it's off to the voting!

What is amigurumi?

Amigurumi(編み包み) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically cute animals (such as bears, rabbits, cats, dogs, etc.), but can include inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features. Amigurumi can be either knitted or crocheted. In recent years crocheted amigurumi are more popular and more commonly seen.
